Den reelle eieren av aksjer kan imidlertid stemme for aksjene hvis han godtgjør at han har tatt nødvendige skritt for å avslutte forvalterregistreringen av aksjene, og at aksjene overføres til en ordinær VPS-konto som står i navnet til eieren. Hvis eieren kan godtgjøre at han har tatt slike skritt og at han har en reell aksjeeierinteresse i Selskapet, kan han etter Selskapets oppfatning stemme for aksjene. Beslutninger om stemmerett for aksjeeiere og fullmektiger treffes av møteåpner, hvis beslutning kan omgjøres av generalforsamlingen med alminnelig flertall. I henhold til vedtektene 7 er retten til å delta og stemme på generalforsamlingen forbeholdt aksjeeiere som er * * * There are shares in the Company, and each share carries one vote.

The beneficial holder of the shares may, however, vote for the shares provided that he proves that he has taken the necessary steps to terminate the custodian registration of the shares, and that the shares will be transferred to an ordinary VPS account registered in the name of the holder. If the holder can prove that such steps have been taken and that he has a de facto shareholder interest in the Company, he may, in the Company s opinion, vote for the shares. Decisions regarding voting rights for shareholders and proxy holders are made by the person opening the meeting, whose decisions may be reversed by the general meeting by simple majority vote. Pursuant to section 7 of the Company s articles of association the right to attend and vote at the general meeting is reserved for shareholders who are registered in 1/3

3 Styrets forslag Til sak 3 Fullmakt til styret til å beslutte og utbetale utbytte Styret av den oppfatning at det hensett til Selskapets finansielle stilling er forsvarlig å foreta en utbyttebetaling på grunnlag Selskapets årsregnskap for Det vises til Selskapets sammenslåing med BP Norge AS og den resulterende tilveksten av produksjon og inntekter. Videre mener styret at en utdeling av utbytte ikke vil hindre selskapets muligheter for videre vekst og utvikling. Styret foreslår at generalforsamlingen gir styret fullmakt til å beslutte utbytte, og at fullmakten kan benyttes ved en eller flere anledninger frem til ordinær generalforsamling i Styret får dermed mulighet til å vurdere om det innenfor den fastsatte ramme vil være rom for flere utdelinger. Selskapets seneste årsregnskap, årsberetning og revisjonsberetning er tilgjengelig på Selskapets hjemmeside og på Selskapets kontor. På bakgrunn av dette foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak: «Generalforsamlingen i Aker BP ASA gir herved styret fullmakt til å beslutte og utbetale utbytte basert på Selskapets årsoppgjør for Fullmakten kan benyttes ved en eller flere anledninger, for et beløp på USD 125 millioner. Fullmakten er gyldig frem til ordinær generalforsamling i 2017, likevel senest 30. juni 2017.» The proposals of the board of directors To item 3 Authorisation to the board of directors to resolve and declare dividends The board of directors is of the opinion that based on the Company s financial position it is justifiable to declare a dividend payment based on the Company s 2015 account. Reference is made to the Company s business combination with BP Norge AS and the resulting growth in production and income due to such transaction. Furthermore, the board of directors are of the opinion that declaration of dividends will not hinder the Company s possibilities for further growth and development. The board of directors proposes that the general meeting provides the board of directors with an authorisation to declare dividend and that such authorisation may be used on once or several occasions until the ordinary general meeting in Consequently, the board of directors will be given the possibility to determine whether it within the determined limit are room for more payments. The Company s latest annual accounts, annual report and auditor s report are available at the Company s website and at the Company s offices. On this background the board of directors propose that the general meeting passes the following resolution: The general meeting in Aker BPASA hereby authorizes the board of directors to resolve and declare dividends based on the Company s annual accounts for The authorization can be utilized on one or more occasion with an amount of USD 125 million. The authorization is valid until the ordinary general meeting in 2017, but no later than 30 June /3
